The one-story, non-operating, log mill was built in 1973 as a reproduction to replace the original mill.

The pooled spring water/dam above the mill. The mill is in a very picturesque setting with its overshot wheel and a plentiful supply of water.

The water from the sluice box/flume is set on the bypass, so the water dumps out before getting to the wheel. The owner, in 1995, lived in England and a caretaker, who welcomes visitors, lived in the house above the mill.
